Episode 086: The Stars and the Blackness Between Them by Junauda Petrus

Is It Teen Enough For You Now · The Stars And The Blackness Between Them by Junauda Petrus

We put out a few shorter episodes awhile ago where we would interview one member of the panel about a book they'd recently read and enjoyed. I forgot we had these, and then started listening to this one and remembered what it used to be like to sit in a room with all these people. We are having so much fun talking about a book Lindsey was clearly excited about. Here's a 10 minute glimpse into an old life, and a persuasive pitch to read The Stars and the Blackness Between Them by Junauda Petrus.

Episode 085: Elatsoe by Darci Little Badger

Is It Teen Enough For You Now · Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger

In this episode we discuss Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger. That is a true sentence written by a tired man. A man who derails this podcast partway through by talking about landline telephones -- a topic that even the elder Millennial co-hosts were baffled by -- but that I'm certain Gen Z'ers will eat up.

For our last episode of this turbulent year, what better title to discuss than Clap When You Land? 

After the end credits, stick around for some pretty uniformed takes on Aurora Burning (only Ca$h Money had read it at this point).
